8KB RPG?! Commodore PET Legend ‘Tower & Dragon’ Rises Again!

Can you believe an epic dungeon-crawling RPG could be created with *only* 8 kilobytes of memory? That's the mind-blowing reality of "Tower and Dragon" for the legendary Commodore PET, and it's making a triumphant return! Retro gaming fans, prepare yourselves, because a new Version 4.0 and a Kickstarter campaign are just around the corner for this assembly language marvel. This isn't just any old game; it's a deep adventure featuring primary and offhand weapons, armor, quests, moving walls, and unique dungeon levels, all designed to run on some of the oldest PET systems still alive. The creator, inspired by the classic "Dungeon" from 1979, calls it "by far the best game ever released for an 8K Commodore PET," a monumental task where every byte literally counted. Furthermore, the new version will boast a distinctive audio soundtrack thanks to Shiru's BuzzKick engine, adding a fresh layer to the nostalgia trip. You can even try it out on Norbert Landsteiner's awesome online PET emulator, keeping the vintage spirit alive! The developer is even incorporating map data from a game he made as a boy in 1980, blending personal history with cutting-edge retro development. With new footage and the Kickstarter imminent, the excitement is palpable for this technical masterpiece.
